The Life History Approach to Human Differences
A Tribute to J. Philippe Rushton
Edited by Helmuth Nyborg
A collection of articles by eminent scientists, first published in Personality and Individual Differences to mark the death in 2012 of J. Philippe Rushton. His ground-breaking and controversial research in the fields of evolutionary theory, genetic similarity theory, r/K-theory, life history theory, sex differences, brain size differences, and altruism was the catalyst for fierce debate within both the academic community and the wider population. The debate is one that continues to this day.
